A vibrant civil society is key to underpinning the rule of law & fundamental rights across any state. Great to meet József Péter Martin to discuss the vital work of TI Hungary & how Ireland in Hungary can better support it in the year ahead.
I am happy that I had the chance to write into this excellent volume, the first ever dictionary of #corruption. It's highly recommended to academics, policy makers, NGIO staff and journalists. Thank you Robert Barrington for inviting me to contribute.
🔜 TOMORROW 🔜 Don’t forget to join us and Freedom House for this discussion with Mike Smeltzer, Alexandra Karppi, Bálint Magyar, Jozsef Peter Martin, Ágnes Urbán and Bálint Madlovics! ⏰ Apr 19, 2pm CET 📍 Budapest / online Details: 👉 cutt.ly/Hw4gFtB5
Years after TI Hungary sent its notification back in 2021, the European Commission decided to launch an infringement procedure about the 35-years-long highway concession which has been won by the top-oligarchs in Hungary! Read more here: ec.europa.eu/commission/pre…
The Sovereignty Protection Office formally notified TI Hungary about “initiating a specific – and comprehensive – investigation” into our activities. We consider the operation of the SPO, as well as the law establishing it, to be unconstitutional. transparency.hu/en/news/spo-ta…
‼️Hungary’s Russia-inspired Sovereignty Protection Office started a probe into anti-corruption NGO TI Hungary and investigative journalism outlet atlatszo.hu for alleged “influencing of the Hungarian electorate” using “foreign funding”. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
1/ 🚨 Hungary's: 'Sovereignty Protection' Office has initiated an investigation against TI Hungary. They allege that TI Hungary is trying to influence Hungarian voters through their foreign fundings. #Hungary #TIHungary
The Sovereignty Protection Office formally notified TI Hungary about “initiating a specific – and comprehensive – investigation” into our activities. We believe that that it is no accident that our organisation has been targeted by the SPO, as we fight against corruption.
We at Transparency International EU together with RECLAIM (Esther Martinez), Amnesty EU, HRW Brussels, European Civic Forum, RSF, NL Helsinki Committee, The Good Lobby Profs, FIDH and World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT) express our unwavering support for and solidarity with TI Hungary and atlatszo.hu 🤍Statement: transparency.eu/we-stand-with-…
Our ED, Jozsef Peter Martin is also participating in the discussion on the state of the rule of law in Hungary, as the #HUN presidency in the #EU just started this week.
😎We had a great conversation with Jozsef Peter Martin on the (sad) state of Hungarian media, organized by TI Hungary, at the Bánkitó Festival. Transparency Hungary is doing important work – no wonder why they're harassed by the Orbán government's Sovereignty Protection Office.
My research and case study on Hungary (in comparative perspective) on the interplay of #gender, #corruption and #transparency has been available at Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) website. cipe.org/resources/wome…
My take to The Guardian on the "sovereignty protection" investigation against TI Hungary - between Orwell and Kafka...
"The whole thing is so absurd that I would put it between Orwell and Kafka somewhere" - told TI Hungary's ED, Jozsef Peter Martin to The Guardian. “In a European Union country, that absolutely should not happen" he added. Read the full story here: theguardian.com/world/article/…
